Poured Out – Humility of Christ – 04.03.22

Connect: Zach prayed in that prayer He asked what scaffolding have we been building your life on? So what scaffolding are you building your life on? 

Read: Philippians 2:1-11

Where have you been encouraged from being united with Christ?
How do divisions affect a church? Its effectiveness? Its testimony? Its growth?
Vs. 3 Zach talked about what selfish ambition means – contentiousness, strife, seeking to win followers – How has that played out in your life? Paul says that we need to count others more important than yourselves -and look not only to your own interests but interests to others. What does that look like for you? 
Read 1Cor 1:12- In the heart of hearts do you follow someone rather than Jesus – it can even be a Christian. –  answer that in your heart. 
Where do you find your identity ? What convicts you in this passage – share with each other 
Vain conceit -to be empty and then doxa – glory 
We are glory hungry people – Where do you grab for glory? – 
“the essence of gospel-humility is not thinking more of myself or thinking less of myself, it is thinking of myself less.” Tim Keller – How does this quote sit with you? 

Apply: Why should we consider others are more important than ourselves?
